Some say laughter is the best medicine, a therapy that simply cure a broken heart! but then on second thought how would you be able to laugh or to smile if you are broken hearted?
How could you smile if your in pain? How can laughter lift up your spirit and set your soul soaring up into the heavens if drops of blood rush out of your heart in its every move?
I dont know how could a smile or laughter would help someone in deep pain, how this simple movement of face muscles relieve the pain from the heart.
Do we consider smile a therapy for a broken heart because when we smile the world smile with us? but when we cry, we cry alone?
Is smile or laughter just another fake medicine for broken hearts?
I am lost! enlighten me! help me find a real medicine for my broken heart!

You have a point Terrence. How can a person with a broken heart smile? Maybe, a smile isn't needed here at all. I believe you see a smile or a laughter during a light moment; like when you are watching a sitcom. A broken heart is a serious matter; a serious matter is no laughing matter and so, a smile or a laugh would be out of place here. You don't laugh when you watch a drama. Maybe, you can smile sadly but most probably you'll have to look grave. But there is happiness in being grave. You don't have to be sad when there is no laughter provided you know your heart. Do you know your heart, Terrence, other than it is broken? Do you know what broke it in the first place and what it takes to put it together again? Do you want to put it together again? Do you put on masks so that you can run away from the problem at hand? Why do the pain come at certain moments? Can you provide an environment that prevent it from emerging; or better still, eradicate it forever? By the way, you write a very good poem. I like it.
i will not claim to be an expert on this because i have been burned too many times and haven't fully recovered on my most recent (if you consider more than 3 years "recent") heartbreak.
although it has been said many times, i am very much inclined to give you the cliche, "time heals all wounds". because really, when all else fails, that's all you have left.
here's an excerpt from one of my post (How to Move On)...
"Let it hurt you until it can hurt you no more... Let the pain be your guide. Only then will you be able to tell yourself that you've moved on and you've let go"
take care and i hope it helps if i say that you're not in this alone. let me take your hand and we can thread on this journey together with all the others who, like us, is finding it difficult to face the pain. let's help each other move on.
=)
